| Fidelity Research FRT-4 and Entre ET-100 step-up transformer SUT comparison @dover thank you for pointing me to the Air Tight ATH-2 and Allnic AUT-800. I wonder if there's an improvement between current SUT's vs vintage SUT's, there haven't been any changes in the technology, maybe just silver vs copper windings. These cu... | |
| Fidelity Research FRT-4 and Entre ET-100 step-up transformer SUT comparison @johnss thank you for your recommendation, I have looked into several of those you listed. I’m focusing on SUT’s that have at least two inputs so I can run multiple tonearm/turntable, and even better if it has multiple impedance selection. I’m una... | |
| Fidelity Research FRT-4 and Entre ET-100 step-up transformer SUT comparison @rauliruegas Which is superior is really system dependent and preference of the listener. | |
| Fidelity Research FRT-4 and Entre ET-100 step-up transformer SUT comparison All of the FRT4 I’ve seen in pictures have output leads consistent with mine. I haven’t peaked under the hood to see if mine has the 18K resistor. Do you know if the 18K resistor is a mod or a part of the original design? | |
| Fidelity Research FRT-4 and Entre ET-100 step-up transformer SUT comparison Both units have 3 inputs | |
| Fidelity Research FRT-4 and Entre ET-100 step-up transformer SUT comparison @theophile cartridge used, Lyra Kleos SL and ZYX 4D. Primary phono stage used is the Manley Chinook, I also tested on a couple of solid-state phono stages. | |
| An audio component you just can't let go @lalitk Shindo has always intrigued me but have never had a chance to listen. I’ve been to quite a few shows but Shindo is not something you commonly find there. Would like to have a listen some day . | |
| An audio component you just can't let go Some good responses so far and some interesting ones too! I recently moved and was faced with downsizing my equipment. A few pieces I decided to hold on to even though it's no longer in use are: Audio Valve Eclipse pre and Challenger mono amps:... | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State @lalitk the SUT I experimented with is a modestly priced vintage Japanese unit, Fidelity Research FRT-4, it's been mentioned here quite a few times. Not saying it's the best or anything but I'm impressed with how it plays with my cartridges and I'... | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State @lewm I know it sounds that way but I’ve had several high gain phono stages in here over the last 15 years, they do sound different from each other and some are better than other for sure. But it took just one SUT to make me realize that it provid... | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State My recent experience with SUT is similar to that of Steve Guttenberg. I was so impressed with how much improvement a modestly priced SUT brought to my system that I questioned why I lived without one for the last fifteen years. SUT is the way to g... | |
| Lumin D2 or Aurender N100H I use a D2 and don't love the Lumin app and user interface. If you're buying D2 to be used as a streamer, then no. The Wolfson DAC in it does sound very good though. I have the D2 connected to a tube stage and it has further enhanced my enjoyment ... | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? Magicos are revealing speakers, but that's not a bad thing! It's easy to make a Magico system sound warm by matching it with tubes or warm-sounding SS amplification or, if you're like me, using many analog sources. IMO, better to have revealing s... | |
| Dan D'Agostino Pendulum Intergrated review @hifimaniac thanks for sharing. Where does Pendalum sit in the D’AGOSTINO hierarchy and any mention of what’s coming next in the Pendalum line? | |
| Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback @chauncey I currently have an Ampex ATR-102 and two Studers in my system. I have owned many of the highly regarded Prosumer machines capable of of playing back newly released tapes such as the Technics RS-1520, Tascam BR20, Otari MX5050B2, Revox ... |
